Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt into a medium Dutch oven and cover with cold water over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 16 to 20 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Return potatoes to the pot, still over the heat. Cook until water evaporates and potatoes look dry, about 3 minutes. Move potatoes to a mound on one side of the pot. Add cream cheese, butter, and half-and-half to the other side of the pot. Cook until butter melts and mixture starts to boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from the heat. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer to desired degree of smoothness, 30 seconds to 1 minute; do not overbeat. Serve immediately.
